president obama will be announcing his own plan tomorrow in las vegas. let's talk about it with bret baier the anchor of special report. so you've got these two plans, one from this bipartisan group in the senate, one to come from the president. are they a lot different, do we know, breet? >> reporter: we don't know. we don't know what the president is coming forward with yet. we have the framework of this bipartisan plan from senators up on capitol hill. essentially it is a little more forceful than what we saw come out in 2007. it requires enforcement of the border first. it requires a pathway to citizenship, but it also says that there has to be enforcement of workplace, an enforcement to make sure that illegal aliens cannot be in the workplace. there has to be an i.d. system set up, and it also makes sure that the border security is verified before anything can move forward with that pathway to citizenship. the thing that is confusing for some folks is that there is this probationary-legal framework. so eventually you get to this status where the 11

a day before president obama heads to las vegas to outline a proposal for imgrigs reform, democratic and republican senators will announce an immigration fix they aim to sell to both sides of the aisle. the plan includes a path to citizenship for 11 million undocumented workers along side a provision for stricter border security. jon mccain an architect of the proposal underscored the urgency in getting something done, especially for his own party. >> how can you convince republicans about the path to citizenship? >> well, look, i'll give you some straight talk. look at the last election. look at the last election. we are losing dramatically the hispanic vote. >> immigration reform made sure that compromise is possible, but the question for the next four years is whether it will be the exception or the rule. i think i actually know the answer to that question. governor rendell, lightning didn't strike john mccain when he admitted his own party had a problem. there seems to be some truth talking, some movement towards compromise. are you optimistic about this? >> well, first of all, i
